Container As a Service - A foundation for Cloud Native Applications

Migration to the Cloud - Public or Private has become a standard initiative as enterprises from all industries whether they are small, medium or big in size are adopting the CaaS model rapidly as part of their Digital Transformation Journey.

Containers as a service (CaaS) is a cloud service model that allows users to upload code, organize, start, stop, scale and otherwise manage containers, applications and clusters. It enables these processes by using either a container-based virtualization, an application programming interface (API) or a web portal interface.

CaaS helps users construct security-rich, scalable containers and containerized applications and deploy them either on On-Premise data center or the Cloud and it's often found as a hybrid between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Using containers provides increased efficiency and gives organizations the ability to quickly deploy and scale modern cloud applications to meet the dynamic market conditions.

Containerization helps organizations innovate, release software faster and make applications portable between hybrid and multi cloud environments with reduced infrastructure, software licensing and operating costs.

With ever changing demands of IT Infrastructure, optimizing the IT Budgets is a major challenge for the CIO's today and the CaaS model is one of the suitable solutions to help bring costs down and increase efficiency.

This is where the ability for Business led IT plays a big role for an organization to continuously keep on innovating by having a solid foundation on continuous delivery of new products and new features. Combining the CaaS Model with DevSecOps and Agile Teams is leading to building those Agile Organizations that are able to meet the demands of their customers at the speed of Thought.
